Now I've been watching a few Zydeco videos and I think if you're dancing to Zydeco, you're not doing it right unless you got a big ol hat on...! :P


Oh my, these dudes seriously look after their instruments - that's Beau Jocque wearing his plastic apron so the piano accordion doesn't get sweat on it....but I think at 6ft 6" he can probably wear whatever the hell he likes! And great images of a frottoir (why couldn't I say THAT properly on air..?) You KNOW it's Zydeco when you see one of those on stage..

No moving images for this one but one of the songs I enjoyed from the show.
 

And lastly, a clip of Jay Hoad who played at the Club on Friday night to a very appreciative audience. (and I wasn't missed it. D'uoh!)
